Can we agree on the material too (that`s to all interested), I will phone the laser facility in a few days, I need to add the lines for easier navigation.

1. POM
2. Aluminium alloy

Hi Mario,

I also have a Bosch router, mine is POF1200AE but has the same base as the POF1400ACE.

I am in doubt about the material, I use the jig barely, once in two years more or less...so I am not concerned about being durable...so just to make a decision, I would prefer aluminium. But if the rest of the groupbuy chooses the POM...itís ok for me.

I don`t know if we can make 7, give me a chance to check it. Chance is I will make 8 so one will go on sale here or on ebay. I will let you know today, Henrik.

It takes a bit longer - I had to have this jig with my by the weekend but I need to visit a local Bauhaus and confirm the design fits exactly the Bosch models. Nisbeth sent me a scan and two rullers for scaling but I want to verify and I will do it today. This evening I will apply any adjustments to the files if needed (depends on how well it fits the actual POF1200) and will forward the file to several companies to gather offers.

The aluminium type would be 5083. It is among the strongest (without quenching, which may also cause the material to bend) and has good anodizing properties. Some of the strong types are not very accommodative to anodization so it has to be 5083. I used makeitfrom.com for comparison and some university research on chemical and corrosion resistance. 2024 has slightly higher Brinell strength but is not as easy to anodize and is very susceptible to chemicals. 5083 is considered marine grade and has excellent chemical and corrosion resistance at the cost of slightly reduced strength. However, it can receive deeper anodizing which I believe will make ti even stronger than the 2024 which appears to form very thin anodizing layer. 7075 was the best but it cannot be anodized and has copper and zinc which make it more reactive to some chemicals.
